A superb day of racing at Caulfield on Saturday was highlighted by the win of Black Caviar's half-brother All Too Hard defeating the previously undefeated Pierro. It was not a great day for trainer Gai Waterhouse as her other champion More Joyous failed to run a place behind Queensland galloper Solzhenitsyn. Ocean Park made it three consecutive Group 1 victories by taking out the Caulfield Stakes and Buffering, another Queenslander was far too good for his rivals in the Schillaci Stakes.

A sensational day of Spring Carnival action this Saturday with the running of the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas which sees the champion colt Pierro as the raging hot favourite. Champion mare More Joyous makes her return to Melbourne in the Group 1 Toorak Handicap in which she is burdened with 60kg so it won't be easy. Ocean Park and Sincero clash in the Group 1 Caulfield Stakes before heading to the Cox Plate in a fortnight. The Schillaci Stakes, Herbert Power Stakes, the Thoroughbred Club Stakes and the inaugural Blue Sapphire round-out this magnificent card of racing.

Glencadam Gold is the new favourite for the Caulfield Cup and close-up for the Melbourne Cup after demoralising his opposition in the Metropolitan Handicap recording his fourth victory from four starts in Australia. In the other Group 1 races conducted at Randwick on Saturday Fat Al held-on bravely to defeat Ambidexter in the Epsom Handicap, Norzita got her revenge over Longport in the Flight Stakes while the undefeated It's A Dundeel outstayed the previously undefeated Proisir in the Spring Champion Stakes. At Flemington Green Moon was too good for his rivals in the Turnbull Stakes.
